[howlingmoon]

Especially the bit at the end, when she picked up his car keys, priceless...

I keep my keys under the pillow!!!

is that a good idea sleeping with your keys.  what happens if you opened the car by accident- assuming its parked in your house if it was.

it re locks it self if none of the doors are opened within a short time

This topic "How many GTI owners are there" is an interesting one to ask.
As a lot are probably company cars or leased etc and not actually personally owned.

I now have the use of our companies one till mine arrives. (So I bloody should! Its the reason I don't have mine yet (long story )) after that I then have use of it for company business when I need it.



My Mk6 GTI when it arrives, is like all my own cars, private owned bought by me with cash.

I think you have to ask yourself... if the majority of companies are leasing cars instead of buying them, there must be a reason. That reason happens to be the same reason people get out of bed in the morning. MONEY!!!!

Its just that most people feel more comfortable with the idea that the car belongs to them, and are paying for that feeling

Mine is my one and only car and was bought with real money for everyday use.  It is not on PCP or any other form of finance and is imho the best car I have ever owned.  I just smile every time I look at it and if I was a man no doubt would have a stiffy every time I drive it!!! lol

My point was that the car would still be exactly the same regardless of how you paid for it, or owned it, or used it.. etc etc.

whoever said about if its a company car its not your own car is talking sh1te.  you may not physically own the car but you still pay for it via a salaried car allowance and in tax.  however you 'own' your car you pay for it - therefore its effectively yours for the time you're driving it!

If you buy a car you can keep it for as long as you like (I've had mine 12 years).
If you lease then back it goes after 2 years and you are left at square one.

I would only lease a car if I had a terminal disease with less than 2 years to live, then it makes sense.
Or if I was a cash strapped company with chronic cash flow problems.
